Johns is a talented story teller, I trust in his vision.
Though I really didn't mind the tone at all in the DC movies up until this point, that wasn't the issues for some of them.

Which was especially bad, since apparently the script was basically just Secret Origin. Which is an actual good story
Which is why they got someone who know's how to.....DC trying to correct the mistakes of Justice League.
They really don't have a clue how to portray their characters onscreen. Superman being the worst.
The tone problem doesn't explain other problems like Martha problem
you are aware the film was gutted, right?
It can definitely be argued that "Martha" moment is a byproduct of the tone.

Where are my Mario Maker, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Tokyo Mirage Sessions equivalents?
I want a Tokyo Mirage Sessions x Teen Titans cinematic universe, get on it Johns.

I still worship at the Church of Snyder.
He's the man.
He's the man.
Scott Snyder is a very talented storyteller, I agree.

Wouldn't it be insane if they really turn this situation around? Fox did it with Deadpool. I know one is a one-off movie and the other is a growing cinematic universe, but still
He brought the male Carol back, Barry Allen
Good god man, it is a DC thread and you still delivering dat Carol hate, lol
Right, which is a good move. But have they done too much damage is the question. I'm hoping WW will deliver, but if that doesn't and Justice League misfires then they may as well hang it up and try again.
This is hilariously accurate.
Well, SS is nearing 700 mil so the interest is definitely still there. The potential is endless and all they need to do is start making good movies.

Zack Snyder sure ain't gonna fix that.

This is terrible.
This interview is like a snyder nightmare sequence from a documentary on the DCEU.
I love the absolutely stupid train of thought there too:
"suicide squad was ruined by editorial meddling and got some of the worst reviews of all DC movies in 15 years"
"the solution to this is, clearly, further editorial meddling from executives like geoff johns"
RIP in pieces DCEU.

The fuck? Johns is a producer and writer on these films, he's now essentially an even more hands-on Feige. These films very well could still suck, but some of you all are just having knee-jerk negative reactions to the mere uttering of "DCEU" without bothering to actually comprehend what's happening.
Yeah but what about all the Martha memes that are so funny?
This is an interesting train of thought here too.
Thank you!
With the foundation they have, I am obviously worried how Johns can retroactively fix a lot of stuff but Rebirth shows he at least gets it.
You don't know who Geoff Johns even is, do you...
"I meant to say, 'No, MORE Marthas.' I've been too embarrassed to tell anyone..."
I'm ok with Johns leading this. I just hope that WB doesn't interfere anymore. And again, the "tone" was not the problem for most people.
A great deal, and Earth One Vol 2 is great.
All three movies have been profitable despite their rancidness. They ain't hanging shit up. They probably think the only thing they need to do is make the critics chuckle once every twelve minutes.

He's really not. Especially when you look at his JSA stuff, Shazam, and his two Superman runs.
Ought to see what i can do in an Acclaim comics thread

That's the worst part! I want Lex Luthor whose bizarre as fuck, Murderman and Sociopathman, weird inconsistent tone, etc. It's gonna be so dry now
If they can't give us TDK quality they may as well go balls-in with making it shit!
This right here - and the fact that they're rewriting Wonder Woman confirms that it was also going to be a trainwreck. Thank you Geoff Johns!

Nah, Nintendo still puts out a bunch of good games even if they're hampered by bad hardware ideas and marketing. DC doesn't have the Super Mario Maker or Pikmin 3 of their film universe.
If anything, they're Bizarro Nintendo. The end product is mediocre to bad and their marketing and general movie universe structure is on point.
MoS -> Batman V Superman -> Suicide Squad
Would have been a great way to start their universe if the movies were good. Brings in two of your biggest characters and follows it up with an obscure property to get people interested in characters they probably don't know about.
I chuckled a lot during "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad"
